Academic Council Participates in AIDS Walk

Students at the AIDS Walk WashingtonNearly 30 students from Georgetown University School of Nursing & Health Studies participated in the annual AIDS Walk Washington on Saturday, Oct. 6.

The undergraduates participated on a team organized by senior nursing majors Jackie O'Connell (NHS'08) and Erin McCaffrey (NHS'08) and sponsored by the NHS Academic Council. O'Connell is a senior representative on the council, which is led by chair Robin Rector (NHS'08), a nursing major, and vice chair Martyna Skowron (NHS'09), a human science major.

The event, according to The Washington Post, raises money for the Whitman-Walker Clinic in Washington, the area's largest provider of health services for individuals with HIV/AIDS. About 7,000 people participated this year, raising more than $800,000.
